What else is the “remote HTTPS connection”? Is it possible to stream my stream OUTWARDS to WAN? (With port forwading) So I can just give friends a link to stream from my stream? Easy peasy? Would be super handy

    im not sure what the difference is between stremio-web and this https connection method. I installed Caddy as a reverse proxy, but when I connect to my IP in the browser, I get redirected to this URL:

    https://app.strem.io/shell-v4.4/?streamingServer=http%3A%2F%2F(-my-external-IP-)%3A11472#/detail/movie/tt15314262/tt15314262

    Why am I using their DNS or site? I’m so confused. I thought my Stremio + Caddy would connect me INDEPENDENTLY over the interwebs

      The difference might be that Stremio-web works :P

      Jokes aside, I sadly can’t help you on the technical side, all I know is that Stremio web works, no setup required. I went to Stremio-web, logged-in, chose my favourite public domain 1963 movie “Terror”, pressed play and copied the link from the address bar to my clipboard. I then shared that link to three different friends that did not have Stremio and they were all able to watch it, independently. I’d share the link here, but it contains my RD API token, so I’d rather not…

      Peario works in a similar fashion, the only difference being that it would coordinate the three streams to keep them continuously synced up.
